This unique modern design is achieved with simple patchwork. You’ll create a total of 10 rows, each measuring 40 1/2″ x 4 1/2″, which you will sew together to create the final quilt. Use a 1/4″ seam allowance throughout and press all seams open.

I’ll walk you through the first row to get a sense of it:

Sew together one 2 1/2″ red square and one 2 1/2″ black square.

Sew the above unit to a short end of the 10 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ black rectangle, with the red triangle on top.

Sew an 8 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ black rectangle to the other side of the red-black square unit.

Sew together a 2 1/2″ black square and a 2 1/2″ light blue square.

Sew the above unit to the end of the row (the short end of the 8 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ rectangle.

Sew a 4 1/2″ black square to the end of the row (the light blue-black square unit).

Continuing creating and adding units in this manner to create the first row, as shown:

Use the blow diagram to complete all of the remaining rows in this same manner (the first sew is shown again in the diagram), sewing together units and adding these units to the ends of the rows as you work. Sew each row to the previous row as you complete it.

Notes: You don’t have to use the exact same color placements, just avoid having two squares of the same color next to one another. I’ve labeled the 10 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ and 8 1/2″ x 4 1/” rectangles for clarity. All other large black rectangles are 6 1/2″ x 4 1/2″. Keep an eye out for the dark blue and dark purple– they’re not black!

Baste and quilt as desired, using the Essential Dots as your backing fabric. I quilted a continuous curly cue, starting from the center of the quilt and using black thread.
